The 2020 Brut Nature Le Mont des Chrétiens is a deep, powerful wine. Lemon confit, white pepper, mint, sage and marzipan are all beautifully amplified. This potent, resonant Champagne packs quite the punch. As with many 2020s, there's a slightly vegetal character, but the wine has enough weight and overall fruit intensity to balance that out to some degree. Aging on cork likely helps with texture. Overall, this is nicely done. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2024.

Savart is one of the great success stories in Champagne over the last decade or so. That’s no longer news. What I admire most, though, is Fred Savart’s relentless quest to elevate quality and his curiosity in exploring new approaches, such as the use of glass Wineglobes for some of his wines. This is not the easiest range to understand, as that experimentation also leads to cases where the 750ml and 1.5L versions of the same wine undergo completely different approaches in the cellar with regards to vinification/aging vessels and closures, something readers should note. The top wines here have been gorgeous for some time, but the entry-level offerings have recently moved up a notch.
